With over 20 years experience, we are the go to Rendering contractors in Essex
External rendering will enhance the appearance of your home, providing a decorative finish that protects and prevents weather damage. Rendering provides an easy way of hiding unattractive brickwork or unifying a new extension or loft conversion to the rest of the house.
There are many different products available, from Monocouche to Lime Plasters, all of which Castle are experienced with and can advise you which is best for your home and budget.
Cement renders are the most cost-effective option available, but will require painting after the render has fully dried. The cement is mixed on site by our team, we can offer various strengths and additives to suit the season.
Polymer renders are pre-blended by the manufacturer, including additives which make the render less prone to cracking. These renders make an excellent base for paint or decorative top coats.
Monocouche renders such as K-Rend, are pre-coloured and have a high lime content giving them a ‘breathable’ quality perfect for existing buildings. Monocouche renders are finished by the renderer, and do not require painting, saving time and money on decorating costs.
Lime Plaster is a traditional method, used in this country for many years to render buildings before cement was introduced. Lime mortars are used mainly in the renovation and conservation of listed buildings, where the structure requires water permeability and the ability to flex with the seasons.
External insulation gives a clean and modern look while providing an extra layer of home insulation, saving money on heating bills. Also a great option to solve cold wall issues on single skin buildings with no cavity. These fixed boards then provide the base to apply polymer renders and a coloured top coat to complete the render system.
Acrylic and silicon top coats can be applied to existing surfaces or newly rendered elevations. These finishes are highly desirable and offer an exceptional low maintenance option.
